Maniaplanet 4 - Previews

[Cerovan]

The new preview has arrived!

And this time, the editors are the kings

For example, it’ll be possible to create an “Invasion Maker” Title which will allow creators to easily create several Invasion titles, diversifying the content by creating a new campaign, adding new items in the map editor or offering others style elements like menus.

No.

Edit:
I will never allow anyone to benefit from adding ugly and unprofessional shit to my hard work. If someone wants to take a part in creation of my game modes, they should consult me first and work together. Noone will base off their title under Invasion, add some useless and non-working actions and claim to be the maker of the title. I will never allow any SSM* INVASION WITH MINIGUNS AND NUCLEAR BOMBS IN SPACE MOD [100K] (EVERYTHING ALLOWED) to happen.

PS. Recently Invasion was also moved to Galaxy = example not even up to date.

Very nice. Interesting changes.

Edit:

Just read a bit more thoroughly through the "title makers" thing, which I now realize is worded to be similar to "forking" a repository on Github, you'd be "forking" someone's title pack? Is that how it works? Or is this only (like I would expect) the ability for people to create editors for your title pack, which can then be used in maps etc?

Taking the Invasion example, is this either:

A. An editor to make your own enemy spawning wave definitions inside of the Invasion title pack (it moved to Galaxy, but example is still valid), which you can then apply in the map editor?

B. A way to "clone" or "fork" the Invasion title pack and modifying it so that it does different things?

If it's B, is this regulated? Eg. can the title pack developer decide whether or not they want people to "fork" title packs? How does it work?

If it's A, that's a very nice welcoming addition. I think option B is also a lot more confusing down the line.

A lot of great new stuff is developed behind the scenes!

With that comes a lot of things that can only work with good documentation or at least some good guidelines.
Otherwise the instruments are only for the very few and thats probably not the intention!
I hope with mp4, maniadoc or maniawiki will be updated as well

Keep up the good work. Really looking forward for MP4 now!

Is that item rotated or why there isn´t used a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system?

Wow! Cool to see these new features! But will the item editor be an alternative for blender?

[Hylis]

Title makers are not made from existing titles, they are titles that their "inventors" would like to provide to "composers". Having an "Obstacle Solo Challenges" maker could have been another exemple or a Raid maker, or a minih&s maker etc.

The Maniacredits should become automatic as well.

Dvd + Domino combo without having them to synchronize could have been an exemple, but I feel that it was less seen as a recognition than a fear. think it could be cool!

The mesh editor will be a start that we will look to develop in contact with users and tool makers during the mp4 beta & update phases

Why is the first post not updated? How hard is it?

Not much, only waiting for you to complain about it

Looking forward to the mesh editor and how it works and what is possible to do with it. Would probably bring me finally into creating some stuff as I always wanted to, but not having the time for it due to work/life balance -_-
